It has come to our attention that there has been some word going around the Glen Ellyn area that the building our practice is located in is being sold, as well as our practice.

While, yes, the building is being sold to a new owner, our practice is NOT being sold. Dr. Cheryl Sikorski-Meyers will be our head doctor in the office for many years to come and we will still be the small, family practice that you've come to know and love.

We look forward to the many years ahead! Thank you for choosing us for your eyecare!

"See" you soon! :)
